If you want to try an alternative to Firefox then I can recommend Opera which I also have installed on my PC and use use from time. It is a very good browser indeed but some sites do not seem to deal with it very well (as it is a minority use browser). If you want to try it you can get it free of charge at http://www.opera.com/
Good luck

I much prefer it to anything else - had a quick peek at Opera but didn't stick around to get used to it. IE7 is too slow and I hate all the clicking sounds when the mouse is used. Also, for some reason it now doesn't offer to save Internet passwords although I think that I have all the relevant boxes ticked (I am using Vista Business Edition).
Firefox is way out in front for the addons, which I just can't do without. My favourites are (as above) Adblock Plus, Reminderfox and Foxmarks. I recently wanted to retrieve a bookmark that I had deleted a couple of weeks ago and when I went into Foxmarks and selected an earlier version, there it was - wonderful!

Having said that I think FF3 and Thunderbird are both excellent.

Until recently the Firefox browser was far more secure than the MS IE range, however they are now catching up, some say that IE 8 is over the top and too restrictive.
You cant delete the MS Browser as it is also used by the file system Explore

I much prefer the IE way of listing the folders first, then any individual sites. There's a handy add-on which lets you use IE Favorites with FF - 'PlainOldFavorites'

Quote from: pierre_pierre my bookmarks are listed in the order I acquired them, you can also right click at the top of the list and open like a file list and move them where you want
Thanks Pierre. I didn't get anywhere by right clicking, but your comment did encourage me to have a further furtle with 'Organise Bookmarks', and now they appear as I want them.

Quote from: pierre_pierre what ever you do dont use the free Apple Browser (cant remember its name) it has virtually no security.
Do you mean Safari
http://www.apple.com/safari/
I don't know about it's security - I only use it test my opwn web sites for compatibility with Macs - as far as possible.
I too use Firefox for my primary browser, with Opera used for some things.
Only use I have for IE is to do Windows update checks, and again testing my own web sites
